What are they good for?
Databases can be useful tools for your job search. The resources in this guide are examples of you how databases can help you with quick and efficient research by compiling and organizing large amounts of information.
Libraries are a great place to start your job search because they provide you with free access to many expensive databases. Often, the information you find in a database may not be freely available on the Internet.

- Research educational programs and retraining options
- Determine potential job openings and industry demand

There is no “best” source for all job search information. Different databases provide different types of information. Choosing the appropriate databases before you start your research is the key to finding the information you need.
